I know you don't like me Mike, but I agree with others...you have taken the first step in cheapening the look of the car by putting it on. And paying $240 for it? I don't care if it came from Guam!

Make sure to inform us of:

Sell it to a silver owner, as its the only colour that can pull it off.

Boy how things change.

About a year ago when Mazda first showed the aluminum gas cap on the black show car with the appearance package, people loved the thing.

Now people hate it. Make up your mind.

Looks good to me.

I think it's cool, Mike. I'd really like to see a daytime pic, though.

Unfortunately, I don't think it would look too good on Winning Blue.

thanks,

Laws require amber bulbs.
We supply them WITH the amber bulbs already installed.

I think it looks great Mike, not ricey at all. Very stylish....here is a recent photo of mine since someone asked....just painted the calipers last week to Black too...

$240 is up there, mine was $200 inc postage.

I think it looks good on silver, but perhaps not on yellow. red is not bad! Required taste I think, otherwise Mazda would not have created them ...

BTW Mike, looks good.
